Punk has been one busy dude lately. But since I didn't get a chance to address my peoples, I figured I'd give it all to you know including the 1st Annual Punk Awards - 2008.
This award is about just being nasty on the field and having everyone want to be you off the field. So basically its just a player of the year or something. Punk doesn't want to think too hard, so here they are.
1st Annual Punk Awards - Sponsored by LaxSpot.com (Powered by the Lacrosse Community!)
D1 - Paul Rabil - JHU - Nasty, nasty, nasty! And proved it in the National Championship Game. He drew the LSM all season. Without the supporting cast that some other studs had, he put it all on his shoulders. 50 points (36,14)
D2 - Greg Cerar - CW Post - He put up some great numbers as a junior and he can feed the rock as well as he scores. 67 points (43,24)
D3 - Kylor Berkman - Salisbury - A 2nd championship for Kylor as he led the Gulls at the midfield all season. 81 points (33,48) for a midfielder ain't too shabby!
Thanks to all for reading this season. I know that you're smarter and more awesome (awesomer) for doing so. Punk will keep on posting as I hit the summer tournaments, the beach and tryin to juggle all of these lovely ladies.
Punk did pretty good in his picks last weekend. Well at least in the men's side of things! Here's how good I was. Punk had UVA in the D1 women's championship...so luckily my winner is TBD!
Men's
D1: 7-1 (Lost UNC game)
D2: No games
D3: 6-2
Women's
D1: 4-4 (Lost Vandy, Towson, Gtown, UVA)
D2: No games
D3: 4-4 on Sat plus 4-0 on Sunday
So much for getting the picks for today's games. Cortland is losing 9-7 in the 4th. That could throw off Punk's D3 championship picks. We'll stick with my original picks and see how things go the rest of the way.
Punk loves the playoffs! Time to separate the punks from the nerds. Predicting the outcomes for the '08 playoffs will be harder than ever this season with all the 'parity' out there this year. Punk even has the scoop on who's going to take the women's championships too.

Yes for the third straight year these two powerhouse state universities will face off in the D3 finals. Punk expects to see lots of tight shirts and gold chains on one side and shaggy hair and madaras shorts on the other. A standard NY vs MD battle.
